Re: What bourbon are you drinking? - Winter '13/'14

HW Son of Bourye. First time I've tried one of these bourbon/rye blends and it's totally different than I expected. I was ready for what I assumed would taste like an incredibly high rye content bourbon, but if I didn't know what I was having I'd never guess what it was. Just a sample a buddy gave to me. I definitely want more, but at $55 a bottle? Not sure.

First off welcome, and how is that FRSB in flavor? I got a mini the other day that was super light in color but just a complete honey/fruit bomb. I love it so much I wish I could get more. An open private-selected FRSB I have is the opposite, super dark, and a spice bomb with layers of chocolate/char, I like it too. Its real fun to taste these side-by-side.

Hello. This one has very nice light floral notes and a nice creamy mouthfeel. A bit of cool mint and caramel if I hold it on the tip of my tongue and draw some air over it. And some nice bourbon vanilla and a bit of wood. The overall presentation reminds me somewhat of an Old Crow BIB 1951 I had about a month ago. This seems to me more like some of the older style bourbon than any others i have had. From the bottle codes and label, it looks like a 2013 bottling, warehouse DN, Barrel 32-4L. I sort of want to hoard it, but I picked it up in another state. May need to bribe the relatives.
